Features

The 2-Axis Fine-Adjustment Camera Mount
may be supported with the base down or the base up.
In either position, the plate the camera attaches to can be
either below or above the camera.

When coarse adjustments are unlocked,
there is sufficient friction to hold the camera in position.
Coarse position can be set by hand.

Fine adjustments are made using a hex wrench,
allowing for extremely fine positioning.

Independent adjustment of each axis
means each adjustment does not affect the other.

All adjustments and locking are made with a single 3/32 inch hex wrench.
Reconfiguration is done with a 9/64 inch hex wrench.

Once the mount is locked, the camera does not move.

While not as robust as the Rigid Mounts,
the Fine-adjustment Mount
will work very well in applications where the mount will not be subjected
to extreme disturbances.
They are also suitable for mounting other types of instruments and sensors.

If your mount will be subjected to very high vibration,
or you want to have visual evidence that the adjustments
have not been changed, we offer drilled hardware that can
be secured with lock wire.
LWDH Installation Manual

The normal change in the Pan or Tilt angle is bit more than
2 degrees per turn of the position screws.
Should you need a finer adjustment, this option provides
slightly less than 1 degree per turn.
While shown here with the PTD option (below),
EFA and PTD are separate options.

Camera Mounting Alternatives

Adjusting camera mounts can become tedious in tight or inconvenient
spaces.
We have made the Fine Mounts customer-configurable,
so alternative placements of the adjustment screws are possible.

For example,
it may be more convenient to have the pan and tilt
coarse- and fine-adjustment screws
available from the back of the mount.
As this drawing shows, they can be moved.
(Moving the pan and tilt screws are independent operations.
We do not know why one would want to, but they can be on opposite sides.)

Note that these mounts can be configured with the tilt-axis L-bracket raised
above the pivot.
In this position, a small camera can be hung above the pan axis.

Also, the tilt axis locks can be repositioned so the tilt L-bracket hangs
outside the pan-axis base.
This can accommodate larger cameras and
a wider selection of tilt positions.

Here are some examples with small- and medium-sized cameras.

Note also that there is an alternate pivot point on the tilt L-bracket,
offset 0.5 inch.
In this position, even larger cameras can be accommodated.

Here are some examples with medium- and large-sized cameras,
and examples where the camera needs to be lifted a well above the base of the
mount.

Also, many cameras have mounting screws on top of the case,
which means they can be hung from the top directly.

One customer needed to mount the camera from the rear.

And there are a few cameras where the mounting screw is on the side.
The pan adjustment, which normally changes the pan angle now changes tilt,
and the former tilt adjustment changes the pan angle.
